Leanne Allen is a Registered Psychologist and an Associate Member of the Australian Psychological Society. Her main area of interest is with Sandplay Therapy (Advanced Diploma in Sandplay Therapy). Sandplay Therapy has the benefit of allowing the client to use symbols to express their unconscious thoughts and feelings. It is a wonderful method used to identify unhelpful patterns of behaviour, the origins of these behaviour's and the decisions made that have had long lasting effects. Sandplay Therapy is effective for use in children and adults, as well as for relationships including couples, parent and child, siblings and work colleagues. Sandplay Therapy is very effective for working with issues such as childhood trauma relating to abuse and neglect, bullying, feeling “stuck” and generally identifying behaviour's that are not helpful.
Leanne also has a special interest in Transpersonal Psychology and is currently completing the Diploma in Transpersonal Psychology. Transpersonal Psychology uses techniques such as Voice Dialogue to facilitate the client in identifying where ambivalence is coming from and to ultimately empower the client.
Leanne is also skilled with other modalities of counselling. Motivational Interviewing has been specifically designed for working with clients who have a drug and alcohol dependence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a well recognized method for use in changing unhelpful cognitions (thoughts) to ultimately change negative behaviour's. CBT is therefore beneficial for conditions such as anger, anxiety and depression.
